END OF YEAR 1 EXAM: LEARNER RESPONSE

 1) Type up any feedback from your teacher in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).

-WW - A strong, detailed exam - well done!

-EBI - Question focus is the key exam technique to work on.


2) Look at the mark scheme document linked above. Question 1.1 asks about mise-en-scene. What do we use to remember mise-en-scene? Give one example answer from the mark scheme too.
-CLAMPS 
-Costume
-Lighting
-Actions/Actors
-Make-up
-Props
-Setting
-Setting: conveys that the city is abandoned, that something bad happened there.

3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark scheme to pick out three possible answers for this question. 
-Location: the empty city creates its own enigma code with the mystery of what has
happened to the city and the people that lived there. This is partially resolved later in the
extract.
-Narrative theory: Propp – character types. Lyra and Will as heroes who the audience can
identify with and accompany on their exploration of this empty city. The audience are
clearly positioned to sympathise with Lyra and Will when they initially face the two other
children.
-Music and sound effects are used during the chase scene to create pace, drama and
excitement. This suggests to the audience that a narrative development is likely to follow –
an action code.

4) Now focus on Question 2 - the 20 mark essay. Use the mark scheme to pick out one way Doctor Who reflects 1963 and one way His Dark Materials reflects 2020. 
-Representations of teenagers have shown both continuity and change. Both Susan in the
1963 Doctor Who and Lyra in His Dark Materials are high-achieving or brave, intelligent or
strong and determined. However, Susan in the 1963 Doctor Who seems more childish and
has little control over her own life. She is more obedient to adults such as her grandfather. In His Dark Materials, Lyra is more capable, more active and more in control – she is not
bothered what Will thinks or her and does not defer to him at all.


5) Reflect on your overall work and exam performance this year. What three things do you need to work on or revise in Media for Year 11? 
-I need to revise my blogs
-Need to focus on question and extract
-Use of good structures and theories on questions
